[Public-List] Vee berth cushions

[John Irving]

I talked to the company in Ontario that made the original cushions. They didn’t still have the patterns. I took my old cushions to a local upholsterer and they did a great job.

You can choose the density of foam you want (3 or 4 firmness levels) and they will whack them out while you wait (we spent a few hours wandering around Federal Hill/Inner Harbor). I took my old boat foam-and it pretty much fills up the back of a pickup-to them (there is your template question) and they did a wonderful job.
